I feel I live in a circus. Yesterday I took the kids to get the above photo taken in Dad's shoes for a Fathers Day gift (so ssshhhh). Ashley (my friend & photographer) was so great to work with. You can imagine how difficult it was to get all five to hold still without one of them crying so thank goodness for the gummy bears she gave to the kids & another friend who was there from a previous photo session. I love that the picture is not perfect because it shows real life in action. Notice the little boo-boo on my girls knee. Yes that happened on our way over so it kind of set the whole mood.

I've thought about making the best of my own circus by painting circus tent stripes in the playroom like in the below pictures.

Sounds like you have some good friends that can recommend some good reads. I'm right there with you on wanting to escape into a good story. Books are so much better than movies or tv. Let me know what you find and how you liked it.

Cute picture of the kiddies with their daddy's shoes on. I love it! You are so creative! The last book that I read and liked was The Secret Life of Bees. Usually I'm just reading books about reading research. I'm the reading coach who doesn't have or take the time to read except when I'm on a plane! It sounds like you have tons of recommendations! I'm glad you find the time to read. You are amazing!!

i'm a friend of lisa harris and happened upon your blog~ now i'm addicted! you have great style and love your design insight. i love to read...here are a few good ones if you like novels...the time travlers wife (they are now making a movie out of it staring rachel mcadams) and the story of edgar sawtelle.

I read a lot...but I'm not sure of your taste? I too liked A Thousand Splendid Suns (and the author's other book The Kite Runner) quite a bit. I didn't like the second Twilight book as much, but I did plow through and finish them all. I just read My Sister's Keeper and it only took me a few days because I just couldn't put it down. Another interesting book is Middlesex by Jeffery Eugenides--you may think I'm weird for suggesting that one after you read it. For an easy read, I just finished Love the One You're With but Emily Giffin. Or I would always recommend my two favorite classics of all time: The Color Purple and Gone With the Wind.

Never read Twilight, so can not recommend it. Nothing to recommend, but you have had quite a few to choose from. Love all the photos that you had in the blog this time. Very nice. Enjoy your reading time.Dan and Deanna "Marketing Unscramlbed"

As long as you are on the circus theme....pick up "Water for Elephants." A good read!! (As is "The Kite Runner" & A Thousand Splendid Suns") Water for Elephants is lighter than the other two, but a great story!!

This is such a darling idea! If it's ok, I'm going to copy you! I was trying to figure out what to do for Father's Day (I'm also putting together a little video w/ an interview of my 3 yr old twins saying why they love their Dad) and this is a winner. :) Thanks for sharing your creativity.

About Me

The title Full House pretty much sums up my life. If you've ever played with dice or the game Yahtzee then possibly you've rolled a Full House. As luck would have it in the game of life I rolled out twin girls and triplet boys. What am I doing blogging...I should be in Vegas winning money for diapers. If I really hit the jackpot I'd hire Uncle Joey and Uncle Jesse to move in and help out.
Oh and I like to associate life's happenings with home decor. I like parties & to fit in a craft every once in a while.
